Cadets

As it relates to cadets, the intent with the Aerospace Education program is to generate continued interest in aerospace education; first, with Aerospace Dimensions, and then with Aerospace: The Journey of Flight.  Mentoring also keeps cadets involved, as do the Rocketry and Aerospace Excellence (AEX) Programs.

 

 

Aerospace Dimensions Modules

Some important points about the Cadet Program as it pertains to aerospace education:

�� Program utilizes the Aerospace Dimensions modules.

�� Training can be a group study approach or self study.

�� New cadets can begin studying the same material with the other cadets. The Dimensions modules can be studied in any order.

�� Cadets take tests after studying each module. After successful completion of the test (70%, correctable to 100%), cadets move on to the next module.

�� After cadets have passed all modules, they can take the Mitchell Test. The Mitchell test is a comprehensive test covering all of the modules.

�� For furthering their aerospace knowledge, Phase III and Phase IV cadets use Aerospace: The Journey of Flight.

�� Note: A Supplemental Space Module was added.

Model Rocketry Program

Cadets have the opportunity to participate in our Model Rocketry Program. The new rocketry program began in 2004. It consists of three progressively challenging phases.

Aerospace Education Excellence (AEX) Program

The AEX Award Program actually has three parts.  It can be divided into the AEX for CAP units, AEX for schools, and the AEX College Course. All of these programs provide hands-on aerospace activity workbooks for cadets and students of all ages.
